General Discussion

So I'm looking for a new mmorpg to indulge myself in. Preferably free to play. Nothing fancy, no 'awesome PvP', no silly stuff like a 'decent guild system' or ''stunning graphics'. I just want a game with graphics that don't annoy me, a battle system that can keep me focused, and plenty of customization to make a memorable character. Bonus points if the classes are fun to toy around with. Can be Korean, cutesy anime, whatever.

And yes, I've been through WoW.

So, just what are you looking for in the aforementioned combat system? Most MMOs use an autoattack + hotbar style like the one you saw in WOW.

If it's going to be auto-attack, then at least I want to press some funny buttons. Do something interesting once in a while during a battle. Maybe some snazzy sfx in between. I'm not picky, as long as it can entertain me. Instead of aggravating me with the same battle sequence over and over again.

DDO's combat is great, very action orientated, no need to target someone to hit them, you can just swipe your axe, sword or whatever and hit whoever is in front of it, casters are fantastic too, no standing there waiting 2 or 3 seconds to cast a spell, virtually all spells are instant cast, you never really get the chance to stand still in battle!

I would even go as far as to say that in my opinion, DDO has the best combat of any MMO!

As for character customisation, well, it has that too, you can virtually start with a blank canvas, want a wizard specialising in necromancy, repeating crossbow, shuriken and well whatever really, you can do it in DDO, you can multiclass up to three classes, so for instance by the time you reach level 14 (the cap shortly) you could be 4 levels in wizard, 4 in fighter and 6 in ranger or however many levels of the chosen character you require. Then you have all the feats to choose from and then the skills, oh and then the enhancements (which have just been revamped and are releasing in a couple of weeks) and there will also be Dragonmarks in Module 4 I think which is April.

And the hundreds of thousands of other DDO players would agree..... wait..... my bad. I forgot. That game flopped hard.

That would depend on your interpretation of the word 'flopped', the dictionary says that (amongst the many definitions for the word) a 'flop' is a 'complete failure', DDO is NOT a 'failure', let alone a 'complete failure'. So your attempt to gain some sort of kudos on these boards with a less than pithy comment has 'flopped'!

Remind me of that LL Cool J song Can-I-Bus, which was a diss to Canibus for dissing him and in one verse he said, "Because 99% of Canibus don't exist." Funniest verse in the whole song.

Take out Canibus and put DDO, and it's samething. DDO is bad now that no promotes except We3ster.
